Debating between a few travel cards and need some opinions. Debating between Capital One Venture, Venture X and Amex Green card.

Live in a non major city with an international airport, but need to be flexible to different airlines. Which of those cards, or other cards out there, would be best

I got the VentureX about 4 months ago and absolutely love it. The lounge access from priority pass is great as I travel weekly.

I considered the Chase Sapphire reserve (had the preferred until I got my VentureX), the Capital One VentureX, and the Amex Platinum. Amex platinum is great but offers a lot of credits I don’t need - and I don’t like that yearly travel credits aren’t as nice as Chase or CapOne

The VentureX to me was pretty much all the benefits of the CSR for $150 less a year (and no fees to add my wife as an authorized user)

Happy to refer if you are interested. But either way it’s been a great card!

Chase Sapphire reserve offers priority pass and billing credits worth more than its fee including non travel credits such as door dash, Lyft pink and instacart. DM me for referral.

Amex gold or platinum. Dm me for for referral

How often do you travel? That will help offset the annual fee into an effective annual fee.

Under contract for nearly 1.1M. Wife and I are at HHI $315k. Will go up in the future, $400k in 3 years and $500k possible in 5-7 years. We have $300k in non-retirement funds, $260k of which will go towards acquiring the house. We have 2 kids and will probably reduce (not maxing) retirement accounts next 18 months to do this. Anyone have any thoughts or feedback? We’ll have to live on a budget and watch but I feel we’ll get used to it and income will grow.
